Firefighter 2 Exam Questions and
Answers 100% PASS
Combusibility—ANSWER-Whether or not a material will burn.
thermal conductivity—ANSWER-How readily a material will conduct heat.
thermal expansion—ANSWER-When heated some materials "steel" in particular- expand
significantly when they are heated.
Concrete—ANSWER-Naturally fire resistive material. Does not conduct heat or burn.
Does not have a high degree of thermal expansion as it does not expand. Under tension
steel rods are placed.
Spalling—ANSWER-Expansion of excess moisture within concrete due to exposure to the
heat of a fire, resulting in tensile forces within the material, and causing it to break apart
Steel—ANSWER-Strongest building material. Expands and loses strength as temperature
increases. Not fire resistive material
Steel Expansion—ANSWER-Steel Beam will elongate at a rate of 1 inch per 10ft (3m) at a
temperature of 1000 F (540 C)
Class A—ANSWER-Ordinary combustibles. Solid green triangle
, Class B—ANSWER-Flammable liquids. Red square
Class C—ANSWER-electrical equipment. Blue circle
Class D—ANSWER-Combustible metals. Solid yellow star
Class K—ANSWER-Black Hexagon with white K
Twisted ropes—ANSWER-"Laid ropes" Made of individual fibers twisted intro strands. The
strands are then twisted together to make the rope. Both natural and synthetic fibers
Abrasion—ANSWER-Can damage the rope fibers and reduce rope strength
Braided ropes—ANSWER-rope made by intertwining strands typically synthetic, in the same
way hair is braided
Kermantle Rope—ANSWER-Consist of two distinct parts: the kern and the mantle. The kern
is the center or core of the rope. The mantle, or sheath, is a braided covering that protects
the core from dirt and abrasions.
Forcing Entry into inward opening door—ANSWER-First step is to use adze end. Second step
push down or up to create a jamb about 6 inches.
Type 1 Construction (Fire-resistive)—ANSWER-Building that contains all structural
components made of noncombustible materials, such as steel or concrete.
Chase—ANSWER-Open space within walls for wires and pipes.
Type 2 Construction (Noncombustible)—ANSWER-All of the structural components made of
non combustible materials. Large area, single story building with steel frame, metal or
concrete walls, metal roof deck
